Hi Friends,

I have created two functions that encrypt and decrypt the connection string in web.config. But whenever I want to use connection string. I have to always decrypt web.config and then again encrypt it back. Does there any other way which i can use.

I'm using section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection(" <encryption configuration provider> ") and section.SectionInformation.UnprotectSection()

I add the following code to the After Initialize event of my login page so the connection string will be encrypted. .Net automatically decrypts the conection string when it is needed.

Dim configFile As System.Configuration.Configuration  
Dim configSection As ConfigurationSection  
configFile = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath)  
configSection = configFile.Sections("appSettings")  
If Not configSection.SectionInformation.IsProtected() Then  
   configSection.SectionInformation.ProtectSection("RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider")  
   configFile.Save()  
End If
